This could be the beginning of the end for embattled Sen. John McCain’s life in politics. According to White House sources, McCain is believed to have somehow gained access to the content of President Donald Trump’s private, classified telephone calls with world leaders. And he isn’t keeping quiet about what was talked about either.

Is he senile or just bat-dookie crazy?
How about both and maybe more!
Rand Paul: We’re very lucky John McCain’s not in charge

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) ripped fellow Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) on Sunday after McCain criticized President Trump’s escalating war of words with the media.
He argued that the nation is “very lucky” that Trump is president and not McCain, who won the 2008 GOP nomination but lost to Barack Obama in the general election.
Paul argued that McCain has a history of being wrong major foreign policy questions.
“I would say John McCain’s been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades. He advocated for the Iraq War, which I think destabilized the Middle East,” he said.
“If you look at the map, there’s probably at least six different countries where John McCain has advocated for us having boots on the ground,” he added.

I'm fairly skeptical about stuff coming from "Unnamed Sources" too, but if it is reported in multiple outlets that have developed a reputation over time of actually having legit sources in the know, I factor that in to how credible I believe the news to be.
When the sole report of a story is in a fairly obscure site like TruePundit as an "EXCLUSIVE" report from unnamed sources, I tend to think their sources are imaginary.
NO DOUBT . And throw away the key !
McCain is a lot like Tony Bennett - still singing after all these years.
Thanks, see my new tagline for this fun ride with Juan not the pilot!
McCain is NOT on the Senate Intelligence committee.
Needs more BOOM!
Treasonous.
"Prosecute moi? NEVER!"
"Don't you know who I am?"
I think I see the plan. McLettucs is gonna switch parties, and take on the onerous burden of rehabbing the DNC.
He knows his fellow senators won’t vote to impeach him.
It seems like everyone from the left to the right has unnamed sources. David Seeman, Glenn Beck, AP, CNN, the gateway pundit, gotnews.
It seems like news has never been more worthless than now.
I don’t doubt it for a second - especially with his recent slams while overseas....God Bless his service but he is an embarrassing liability with serious mental issues -— my friend (that was the main part of his losing campaign where he was too stupid to understand what a gem he had in Palin).
Once a traitor, always a traitor.

H/t to poster; didn’t copy name.. got distracted ...
Pnz1 was the poster of #30 that I linked to.
President Trump's team - canary trap.
You mean expel him.
There’s no reason to impeach as Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution allows the House and Senate to expel one of their own members with a two-thirds vote without consulting the other chamber.
The House represents the sovereignty of the people, and the Senate represents the Sovereignty of the states, so they aren’t required to answer to each other in their own affairs.
“Everyone who mishandles classified material are breaking the law. The people who set up the system to pass the information to McCain, the person feeding it to the media and the enemedia publishing it are all subject to 10 years per violation.”
Wonder if Comey had the names of the so called intel people who violated the laws re their attempted lynching of Flynn and President Trump, when he had closed door meetings at the capitol with some of our $inators, like maybe Juan. As per the article below:
LEAKERS BEWARE: DONALD TRUMP HAS UTTERLY DEFEATED THE DISLOYAL COTERIES OF THE US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
President Trump has defeated Democrats in the intelligence community (IC) who were leaking classified information to the press. Such leaks have been a problem for many presidents, but Trump is the first who took a proactive approach and set up a sting operation that identified the leakers.
It’s highly illegal to leak classified information. It’s also illegal to PUBLISH this information, but Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters.
I thought that Trump would fire members of the IC until the leaks stopped, but the president solved the problem with a much more imaginative and deadly approach: He fed the IC false information. When this information was published, Trump was able to identify individual leakers.
How?
Each group or individual, who leaked was given a different version of events. This is CLASSIC spycraft. If nine individuals are told nine different stories, and then each of those stories is published, you know the identity of each person who talked to the press.
It’s called a “barium meal,” after the medical test used to detect problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Soft tissues don’t show up on X-rays. Barium salts are “radio-opaque,” meaning that they show up in a radiograph or X-ray.
Author Tom Clancy called it a “canary trap.” You give multiple sources multiple versions of events. When the sources repeat their version word for word, you can identify each leaker individually.
Magic
In World War II, “Magic” was the code name for the code-breaking done by the US Army’s Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) and the US Navy’s Communication Special Unit. Japanese military code was called “Purple.” Although Magic had been able to break much of Purple, some things were still a mystery.
Magic determined in early 1942 that the Japanese were close to carrying out a major attack. However, the location of the attack—which the Japanese called “AF”—could not be figured out. Therefore the Americans carried out a barium test: Using an underwater cable, they contacted Midway Island, telling the base to broadcast a radio message “in the clear” that the desalinization plant had broken down.
The Japanese immediately sent a coded message to their forces that the desalinization plant at AF had broken down.
Now the Americans knew that the target of the impending attack was Midway Island. The greatest admiral in the US Navy—Frank Jack Fletcher—was sent out to meet the Japanese before they arrived.
Hard to believe the progress those “who cannot be mentioned by name” have made against Western Civilization. But we've been weakened by the universities who decades ago removed Western Civ as a required course for all undergrads. Anti-West ideologues paved the road for the rise of the techno-barbarians and a new Dark Ages.
Tweet about it came out yesterday:

Would not surprise me. Saw McCain all over the MSM over the weekend, talking about “freedom of the press”. He did not even have the decency to acknowledge that the MSM is spewing fake news ALL THE TIME now.
